I just sent your latest Internet marketing post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

I also blog from time to time on marketing online. In fact, here’s an expert from my most recent blog post…

Many people wonder why internet marketing is such an important thing. In today’s world, you have to be sure that you are getting your name and business in front of people. If you aren’t doing this online, you aren’t even coming close to your potential.

Internet Marketing Basics

You need to know some of the basics of internet marketing before you can just jump right into it. Getting some books on the subject or consulting with a professional is always a good idea. You need to understand the benefits you can gain if you want to understand why internet marketing can be so effective for boosting the bottom line for any business enterprise.

Hi Kristi thanks for sharing with us this free and great freebie about Guest blogging thanks a lot for sharing

Sounds like you’ve gone to town on this guide to really give people the info they need to market themselves online. This is exactly what’s needed. It’s getting harder and harder to get your guest post accepted. There are ways – if you know how. And you obviously know how, Kristi! Always enjoy your posts.

What gives guest posters more chance of success is finding that “angle” that makes their pitch attractive to blog owners. The rest is being in the right place at the right time. And, not being put off in your quest. The rewards are great for you if you practice, and keep going.

Can’t wait to take a look at it, Kristi – not doubt everyone and their dog would love to know how you manage to write such incredibly detailed posts on such a regular basis.Ana just posted Google Author Rank: Are You Too Late?

OK I thought I was subscribed but evidently I am not! Totally getting on board so I can read through this guide.
I have been using methods that Kaiser the Sage shared a while ago with HUGE success. It’s all about social outreach and finding those natural linkers in your industry – especially post penguin. In fact my entire client SEO strategy is based around the implementation of said technique.
This guide is basically a guest blogging version of that social outreach strategy from what I can see and myself and anyone else out there would be stupid to not grab a copy!

Thanks Kristi – and it’s nice to come visit again. I am ashamed to say that the llast time I was here you had the yellow and orange flowers in the header… yeah I know, Slack! :pAlex just posted Landing Local SEO Clients. A Dummies Guide

No worries – I appreciate you stopping in again and getting the guide. I hope you find it valuable! Look forward to seeing you around more often! 🙂Kristi Hines just posted Developing a Kickstarter Marketing Strategy

Hi Kristi, just downloaded your ‘Guest Blogging Guide’ and am very happy to have done so as it’s full of valuable info on what and what not to do. Thanks.Alex Zemkus just posted Momentum Get’s You There

WOW, this is an amazing piece of resource on guest blogging. I liked the ideas, and going to get a copy for my self. I am already working on my e-book, but I guess I should take sometime and read this amazing thing.Hamza Sheikh just posted iOS 7 Beta 3 Download Goes Available – (Direct Links)

Thanks for sharing your tips for successful guest blogs. I’m fairly new to guest blogging and I really like the idea of building a portfolio of my guest blogs which have been posted on other websites. This is a great way of demonstrating my writing skills and encouraging other sites to accept my guest articles.Emma Simpson (CheaperAccountant.co.uk) just posted Five Great Business Apps

You’ve nailed one of the largest opportunities available to the average person, out there hammering away at their keyboard, hoping for something better. Many view guest posting simply as a way to get that coveted backlink, giver of all that SEO can offer, but they are missing the boat completely.

Others send their second rate posts, saving the best for their own blog, but they too aren’t seeing the big picture. Guest posting on a large, influential blog exposes your writing and thought leadership to an entirely new audience, in most cases far larger than your own.

It’s a valuable opportunity that shouldn’t be wasted. I have been featured in a number of high profile blogs as well, and the backlinks I’ve received were more valuable for the traffic and exposure I and my blogs have received than the SEO benefit.

What a great resource. Understanding guest blogging is so important. To me guest blogging is about developing a relationship and offering mutual benefit, if you’re only out for your own gain, other site owners will recognize that and reject your offers, as they should. I think your first priority is to add value to the site you’re writing for. Any added benefits for you and your site can only come after.

Kristi, I agree with your guide, first of all about writing the perfect post.. it’s not so easy, that’s why the top ones (like you) are not so many.
I suggest for the newbies to start guest posting in minor websites and build some experience before trying with the top blogs.

also this would help all the blogging community in general, since there would be more proposals around.Jake just posted Google Search Engine Placement

I had to shut down one of my blogs because I posted too many guest articles on it. Took a long time to realize that most of them were of poor quality. Now it’s time that to establish myself with my new blog, I need to start guest posting on some of the blogs. This copy should come in handy.
